1. Definition Institutional sclerosis is the phenomenon which institutions is effective in changing in some areas however unable to adjust to changes in other areas. Institutions can evolve efficiently in areas of expanding original goals to meet changing environment or including more members. At thte same time, institutions or oraganizations can face difficulties adjusting itself to new structures or internal policies.

2. Application to Multilateral Organizations (a) UN Security CouncilUN Security Council The number of permanent members or P5 constituting France, the Republic of China, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the USSR (now Russia) to the UN Security Council has not yet remedied despite the increase in the UN membership to 193 states. The UNSC has gone through only one revision in terms of the number of non-permanent member states since its establishment in 1945; initially starting as 6 non-permanent members to gradually expanded as 10 of them. Such rigidity of the UNSC to reflect changing international environment and being stuck in the original structure makes the UNSC suffer from the institutional sclerosis.
